This was one of the first LibriVox recordings I ever listened to. Adam Smith's arguments persuaded me that copyrights are valuable and should be respected. As a result I stopped listening to illegal downloads and was forced to listen to more LibriVox recordings to save money. And as a result I started making LibriVox recordings of my own.

An excellent read of a fascinating book. Kudos to the reader for keeping five volumes of economic theory interesting. Topical, given the dependence politicians of the Right seem to place on the text.

Having owned "The Wealth of Nations" for decades without reading it, I decided to download the audio book. I am amazed at how relevant so much of the work remains in today's world. I would commend Smith to anyone; especially the version read by Stephen Escalera.
Adam Smith does not need praise from me for his history making and world-changing masterpiece. I wrote this review to compliment Mr. Escalera for his outstanding reading of the work. My first Librivox audio books were Sherlock Holmes mysteries. The readers ranged from good to less than good. Mr. Escalera is among the best audio book readers I have encountered and is on a par with professional actors and authors reading their own works. Stephen Ambrose comes to mind.
I would urge anyone with an interest in the Economy to listen to "The Wealth of Nations" as read by Mr. Escalera.
